Common mistakes to avoid in your search for a Nonprofit Job

What are the worst job search mistakes you can make? Some are major mistakes that can halt your job search before it even gets going, and you don’t even know it! Others are small mistakes that, given a competitive job market, can be enough to knock you out of contention for a job. Be sure to avoid the top job search mistakes, so you're in the best position to effectively job search. During this workshop, we will cover the following issues with a focus in the non profit sector and jobs available in this field:

• Are you choosing the right type of job given your background and experience?
• What does your resume look like? Is it too long? Are you targeting your resume to jobs of interest?
• How are you identifying the right source to apply for jobs in the field of interest?
• Main mistakes in the preliminary screening process (phone interview, in-person interview).
• Strategies to step into the nonprofit sector and create a successful career.
